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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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