Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
