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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
