A friend is someone who truly understands you and accepts you despite your shortcomings. Friendship is a rare and precious commodity that should be treasured and cherished.
"One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives."
"You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job."
"Chance makes our parents, but choice makes our friends."
"To find a friend one must close one eye -- to keep him, two."
