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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
