Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
