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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
