My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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