There are some people in life that make you laugh a little louder, smile a little bigger, and live just a little bit better.

Every friendship travels at sometime through the black valley of despair. This tests every aspect of your affection. You lose the attraction and the magic. Your sense of each other darkens and your presence is sore. If you can come through this time, it can purify with your love, and falsity and need will fall away. It will bring you onto new ground where affection can grow again. 

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Good friends help you find important things when you have lost them. Your smile, your hope, and your courage.

A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

The best mirror is an old friend.

The road to a friend's house is never long.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over. 

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. 

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” —

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in heart.

“Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” —

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
