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

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

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.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
