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.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
