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.

I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad or ugly... that's what I call true friendship.

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

Friendship is something that is cultivated.

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 almost always the union of a part of one mind with the part of another; people are friends in spots.

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.

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

True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
