Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
