Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
