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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.
