When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

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