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

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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