Quote

Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend.

We die as often as we lose a friend.

I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.

Some of the choicest blessings of my life have been the close friendships I have experienced over the years. Often, these friendships have been forged in the fires of shared experience.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

The rare few, who, early in life have rid themselves of the friendship of the many.

Friendships are among the most fundamental of human needs.

Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots.

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
