Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
J. Donald Walters
Friendship doubles our joy and divides our grief.
Swedish Proverb
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
Henry David Thoreau
Sensual pleasure passes and vanishes in the twinkling of an eye, but the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delights of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed. I shall love you until I die.
Voltaire
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, Is made more sacred by adversity
Charles Caleb Colton
Women are quite able to make friends with a man; but to preserve such a friendship - that no doubt requires the assistance of a slight physical antipathy
Friedrich Nietzsche
Friendship is not always the sequel of obligation
Samuel Johnson
There can be no friendship without confidence; and no confidence, without integrity
Unknown
Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall; a mother's secret hope outlives them all!
Washington Irving
School's out, Memories past, Don't ever doubt, Our friendship will last.
Unknown
Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with
Gillian Anderson
If life is a path, we are barefoot and we each scatter before us the contents of two bags hanging from our shoulders. From the first bag -- sharp nails of worry, fear, regret and doubt, or from the second bag -- rose petals of hope, joy, friendship and confidence. If life is a path...we are the masters of that path.
