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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
