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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

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

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
