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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

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

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

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

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