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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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