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

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

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

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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