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

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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