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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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