A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
