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

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
