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

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
