Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

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

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

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