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 marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the best things you can be.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which strengthens with the setting sun of life.
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.
Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
