Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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