Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
