To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
