Friendship often ends in love but love in friendship - never.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding mutual confidence sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion enmity worship love but no friendship.

It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility never an opportunity.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame very pretty often hot and fierce but still only light and flickering. As love grows older our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals deep-burning and unquenchable.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

When a friend is in trouble don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble and then not worth much after you get it.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Friends are born not made.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

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

Many a person has held close throughout their entire lives two friends that always remained strange to one another because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity the other by difference.

Love demands infinitely less than friendship.

Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun it falls tenderly yet sadly on the heart.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends never lose a chance to make them.

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

The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
