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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
