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

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
