“Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn’t seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.” – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.” – Thomas Aquinas

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

“One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.”

“The real test of friendship is can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”

“Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.”

“A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.”
