It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be beloved of many friends.

Euripides.

If you would know how rare a thing a true friend is, let me tell you that to be a true friend a man must be perfectly honest.

Henry W. Shaw.

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love our friends for their sakes rather than for our own.

Charlotte Bronte.

In friendship even thought meets thought ere from the lips it part, and each warm wish springs mutual from the heart.

Pope.
