No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
