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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

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