Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
