| In my friend, I find a second self. |
| Friendship is one mind in two bodies. |
| It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. |
| Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive. |
| There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul. |
| The friend who holds your hand and says the wrong thing is made of dearer stuff than the one who stays away. |
| Friends are the sailors who guide your rickety boat safely across the dangerous waters of life. |
| We have been friends together In sunshine and in shade. |
| I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing. |
| A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. |
