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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

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

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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