You know what they say - "A good friend will bail your ass out of jail when you get arrested; your BEST friend will be sitting next to you in the cell!"

It takes a long time to grow an old friend!

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. Ralph Waldo Emerson

A true friend is one who knows everything about you and loves you anyway.

A friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself..Francis Ward Weller

A friend may well be reckoned a masterpiece of life.
