I recently needed help with something just about in the middle of the night, and I called a friend. This made me think of these quotes. It is beautiful.
“I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.”
“A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.”
“A Friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of Nature.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The best mirror is an old friend.”
~ George Herbert
“When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.”
~ William Arthur Ward
“Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with.”
~ Mark Twain
“It is more shameful to distrust one’s friends than to be deceived by them.”
~ Duc de la Rochefoucauld
“Never injure a friend, even in jest.”

” ‘Stay’ is a charming word in a friend’s vocabulary.”

“What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
