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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

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

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