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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

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

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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