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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

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

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