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

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
