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

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.
