Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

A hug is like a boomerang - you get it back right away.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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