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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
