"I will go with you: but I'm too much of a coward to kill the Witch," said the Lion.
"I will go too," declared the Scarecrow: "but I shall not be much help to you, I am such a fool."
"I haven't the heart to harm even a Witch," remarked the Tin Woodman; "but if you go I certainly shall go with you." (11.111-11.113)
Though pretty much everyone thinks the journey to the Wicked Witch is hopeless, they all agree to go. That's friendship, y'all.

"If our friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, were only with us," said the Lion, "I should be quite happy." (13.3)

"Congratulate me. I am going to Oz to get my brains at last. When I return I shall be as other men are."
"I have always liked you as you were," said Dorothy, simply. (16.1-16.2)
