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

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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