Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
