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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
