A good friend of mine was Lucy Ball. Her mother and my mother were best friends.

Rupert Murdoch is a good friend of mine.

If your best friend gets it, that's all that matters.

Your best friend was also once a stranger

The only service a friend can really render is to keep your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself

Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.

Best friends are formed by time.

Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone.

If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. And it's when the things you do together no longer feel right.

However, sometimes it takes more effort to make it work after all.

Stick around long enough to become someone's best friend.
