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

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

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
