A true friend is somebody who can make us feel better no matter how bad things may be.
Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
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 a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
