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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
