Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

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