Quote

Friends confront each other sometimes, and sometimes the friendship lasts, and sometimes it doesn't.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

That's something that the world needs to learn today: that you can disagree and still be friends.

If two friends ask you to judge a dispute, don't accept, because you will lose one friend; on the other hand, if two strangers come with the same request, accept because you will gain one friend.

One friend in a lifetime is much, two are many, three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.

Friendship is essentially a partnership.

Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.

No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.

I have always believed that life is too short for rows and disagreements. Even if I think I'm right, I would prefer to apologize and remain friends rather than win and be an enemy.
