But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.
