The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.
Friendship is something that is cultivated.
The strong bond of friendship is not always a balanced equation; friendship is not always about giving and taking in equal shares. Instead, friendship is grounded in a feeling that you know exactly who will be there for you when you need something, no matter what or when.
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Friendship is essentially a partnership.
Friendship is almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.
I think the way to keep a friendship is to respect that everybody is different.
Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
