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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship
