I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment.

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.

I have had friends who have acted kindly towards me, and it has been my good fortune to have it in my power to give them substantial proofs of my gratitude.

It gives me immense pleasure to be trustworthy, faithful, and true - to have the kind of romantic bond that inspires this.

Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.

The friends whom I have are invaluable, and although not numerous they are sufficient for my enjoyment; and the texture of my own mind renders me very indifferent to the rest of the world.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.

The essence of true friendship is to make allowance for another's little lapses.

I'm fiercely loyal to my friends, and I really cherish my friendships.
