In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.

Henry Ward Beecher

Let me be alone to the end of the world, rather than that my friend should overstep by a word or a look his real sympathy.

Emerson

The vital air of friendship is composed of confidence.

Joseph Roux

Friendship closes its eyes rather than see the moon eclipst; while malice denies that it is ever at the full.

J. C. and A. W. Hare

The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend.
