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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
