A true friend
Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
FRIENDSHIP, TOO GOOD TO BE BELIEVED
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
FRIENDSHIP, WISHING TO BE FRIENDS IS QUICK WORK
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
