Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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