| One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. |
| Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. |
| 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. |
| Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies. |
| Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. |
| Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest. It's about who came, and never left your side. |
| Friends are born, not made. |
| A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire. |
| Friends should be like books, few, but hand-selected. |
| Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports. |
