True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
- George Washington Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
- Rabindranath Tagore Real friendship is shown in times of trouble prosperity is full of friends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson The glory of friendship is not the outstreched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare - I have no use for him either.
- Sophocles, Antigone 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
- Eugene Kennedy We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over so in a series of kindness there is at last one which makes the heart run over.
- Samuel Johnson No love, no friendship Can cross the path of our destiny Without leaving some mark on it forever.
- Francois Mauriac
