I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

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