True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

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

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
