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

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

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.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
