Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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