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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

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

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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

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

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