What I have found is that real friends stand by you.
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
When you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
Friendship is not to be sought for its wages, but because its revenue consists entirely in the love which it implies.
The real friend is another self.
Real friendship is a slow grower.
The biggest hurdle is figuring out who your friends are. Your real friends.
The finest friendships are between those who can do without each other.
It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.
