Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
