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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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