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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
