The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.
