You do not know how great is the value of friendship, if you do not understand how much you give to him to whom you give a friend.

—Seneca

Faint heart never won true Friend. O my Friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my Friend I may be yours.

—Henry D. Thoreau

Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.

—La Fontaine

Ceremony was but devis’d at first
To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,
Recanting goodness, sorry ere ’tis shown;
But where there is true friendship, there needs none.
—Shakespeare

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

—Pythagoras
