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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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

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