Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
