Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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 may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
