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

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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