Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Woodrow Wilson
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Henry Ford
Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
Euripides
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.
Baltasar Gracian
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely.
Pam Brown
It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
Zora Neale Hurston
When a friend is in trouble, don’t annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it
E. W. Howe
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
Walter Winchell
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
Henri Nouwen
