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

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
