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

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

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

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

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

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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.

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