Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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.

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

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

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

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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