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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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.

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