There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.
