Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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