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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
