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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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