One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
