This is one of the two best descriptions I have over heard:
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love
and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you withhold the “ay.”
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; for with out words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unclaimed when you part from your friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship Save the deepening of the spirit. For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill? Seek always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness. And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. - http://tyros.leb.net/gibran/
The other is Neitzsche and I qoute him too much.

A best friend is someone you could tell everything to and they have no judgement in their heart against you. They would never steal, lie, or hurt you. They have unconditional love for you. They don't expect anything from you other than your company. A best friend is always there for you when you are in need of support (not money support) and they would support your ideas with encouragement. They stick it out thick and thin with you. They never get jealous, they never envy, they cry with you when you are hurt, they keep your secrets safe, a best friend is second to God :D

Well some people like to say that they are the ones who will be laughing with you in jail, saying "wasnt that fun?"... lol.. but seriously a BEST friend is someone who will stick with you through everything, the one that will tell it to you like it is, even if it hurts your feelings, cuz they love you. Someone who is just a friend, will sometimes cause you trouble, or at least in my experience. All my "friends" are more of aquaintances, and my real friends are my best friends. They have stuck with me through all my bad times, as I have them. I hope I answered your question!

A best friend is a person who is interested in your progress, health and future goals accomplished. Visit and care for you whenever you are in need. To the extend that every member of your family or environment will take him to be your blood brother, simply because of the closeness between you and him.

Love respect honesty and acceptance no matter the changes in each others life. I've had the benefit of six friendships like that. They remain the best of friends and I feel blessed. LOL
