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.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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