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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
