Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

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

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

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

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
