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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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