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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.
