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

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

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

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

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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

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