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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

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