Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!
