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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

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

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

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
