A brother is a friend God gave you; a friend is a brother your heart chose for you.

It is one thing to break a friendship, it's another to break a brotherhood.

Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why wert thou not born in my father's dwelling?

The bittersweet about truth is that nothing could be more hurtful, yet nothing could be more helpful.

Never hold resentments for the person who tells you what you need to hear; count them among your truest, most caring, and valuable friends.

Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes.
