Best Quotes about Friends and friendship

Twain, Mark

A friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us.

To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy.

Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.

Thoreau, Henry David
