It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.
