It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

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