Sympathy constitutes friendship but in love there is a sort of antipathy or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other and both together make up one whole.
People come in and out of our lives and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.
Loyalty and friendship which is to me the same created all the wealth that I've ever thought I'd have.
Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship and pass the rosy wine.
I have a loyalty that runs in my bloodstream when I lock into someone or something you can't get me away from it because I commit that thoroughly. That's in friendship that's a deal that's a commitment. Don't give me paper - I can get the same lawyer who drew it up to break it. But if you shake my hand that's for life.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Friendship is Love without his wings!
Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person the more necessary do tact and courtesy become.
However rare true love may be it is less so than true friendship.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
