True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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