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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
