Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
