Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
