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

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

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
