A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
