Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.

Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
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 shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
