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

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
