Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.
