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

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

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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
