A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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