One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
