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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.
