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

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.

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

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