Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

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