But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

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

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.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
