One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
