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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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