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

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.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

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.
