I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world. 611
Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness. 822
I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. 799
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. 744
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. 618
