Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
