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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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