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

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

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

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

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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