True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Best friends listen to what you don't say.

A road to a friend's house is never long.
Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.

Tell me with whom you associate, and I will tell you who you are.
