Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.
