Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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