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

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
