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

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

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

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
