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

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

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

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

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
