There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendships are among the most fundamental of human needs.

Friendship is one of the most tangible things in a world which offers fewer and fewer supports.

I think for a lot of people, friendship is a relationship that gets devalued once they move on to what people consider to be more important relationships: once you find a partner or when you have kids.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.

The little trouble in the world that is not due to love is due to friendship.
