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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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