Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends.
Is my mother my friend? I would have to say, first of all she is my Mother, with a capital 'M'; she's something sacred to me. I love her dearly...yes, she is also a good friend, someone I can talk openly with if I want to.
True friends visit us in prosperity only when invited, but in adversity they come without invitation.
Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends.
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Friends, though absent, are still present.
May our house always be too small to hold all of our friends.
Friendship flourishes at the fountain of forgiveness.
When someone cares... it is easier to speak, it is easier to listen, it is easier to play, it is easier to work. When someone cares it is easier to laugh.
Drink in the beauty of friendship. In this world of constant change, we need the comfort of friendship more than ever before.
I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.
Of all the heavenly gifts that mortal men command What trusty treasure in the world can countervail a friend? What sweeter solace shall befall than one to find Upon whose breast thou may'st repose the secrets of thy mind
With every true friendship, we build more firmly the foundations on which the peace of the whole world rests.
Finding an old friend is like finding a lost treasure.
The greatest trust between man and man is the trust of giving counsel.
Those that will always help a friend, will always have a friend.
A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.
Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
