Poet - John Quincy Adams
I want a warm and faithful friend,
To cheer the adverse hour;
Who ne'er to flatter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power, -
A friend to chide me when I'm wrong
My inmost soul to see;
And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.

As gold more splendid from fire appears;Words to share with a friend can also be found at friend quotes
Thus friendship brightens by the length of years.
Thomas Carlyle
True friends, like ivy and the wall
Both stand together, and together fall.
Thomas Carlyle
Hast thou a friend? Thou has indeed
A rich and large supply,
Treasure to serve your every need,
Well managed, till you die.
William Cowper
True friendship is like sound health,
the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
Charles Caleb Colton
