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

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

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

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

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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