Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

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