Friendship is like money, easier made than kept – Samuel Butler
Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words. – George Elliot
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art . . . it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival – C.S. Lewis
When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think of something appropriate and do it – Edgar Watson Howe
A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
Arabian Proverb
The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly everybody will side with you when you are right – Mark Twain
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up. Ecclesiastes 4:9, 10
