In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

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

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

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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