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

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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
