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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.
