One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

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.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
