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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

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

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

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

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