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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
