An honest answer is the sign of true friendship.
Proverbs
Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with.
Mark Twain
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends whom we choose.
Tehyi Hsieh
A friend is a present you give yourself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.
William Penn
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
Charles Peguy
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Bernard Meltzer
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care to acquire.
La Rochefoucauld
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
La Rochefoucauld
We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
Samuel Johnson
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer Simpson
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
Kahlil Gibran
Let your best be for your friend.
Kahlil Gibran
Let there be no purpose in friendship save the eepening of the spirit.
Your friend is your needs answered.
Kahlil Gibran
A good friend is my nearest relation.
Thomas Fuller
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Lord Byron
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.
Eustace Budgel
