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.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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

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