Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
