A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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