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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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