One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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