A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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.
