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.

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.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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