Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go

The greatest gift of life is friendship and I have received it

However rare true love may be it is less so than true friendship

The friendship That can cease has Never been real

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

Even an animal, if you show genuine affection, gradually trust develops... If you always showing bad face and beating, how can you develop friendship?

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.

A lot of times, in our culture and our society, we put romantic love somehow on a higher plane than self-love and friendship love. You can't do that. You have to honor and really fully invest in all these different loving relationships.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
