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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
