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

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.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
