Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
