The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
