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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
