A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us.
Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
