Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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