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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
