Quotes on Friendship

What are some friendship quotes to put in a scrap book?

I'm making a book full of photos and stories about me and my friend. I'm going to give it to her for her birthday because we've been friends for over 10 years now. I want to her to know how much she means to me and how she makes me a better person. What are some really great quotes?
