A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

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

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

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