Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

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

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

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

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.
