I don't need to go onto Facebook and pretend to have friends I've never even met. To my mind that kind of destroys the meaning of the word 'friend.' I take exception to that. Because I value and respect friendship.

I think quite a lot of people have a friendship or a love that's gone like that and it never quite reconciles properly.

The friendship that can cease has never been real.

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

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

A tree is known by its fruit a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost he who sows courtesy reaps friendship and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Friendship may and often does grow into love but love never subsides into friendship.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility never an opportunity.

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly Can never know what true friendship means.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
