When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
