Friendship should be a private pleasure, not a public boast. I loathe those
braggarts who are forever trying to invest themselves with importance by
calling important people by their first names in or out of print. Such
first-naming for effect makes me cringe.
John Mason Brown
1800-1859, American Militant Abolitionist
A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil -- but it
needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small silly presents every
so often -- just to save it from drying out completely
Pam Brown
Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's
little failings.
Jean De La Bruyère
1645-1696, French Classical Writer
A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is
to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
Buddha 568-488 BC,
Founder of Buddhism
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.
Buddha
Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote
the good and happiness of one another.

That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
Charles Bukowski

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display
to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is
listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.
Edward G.

Love is only chatter, friends are all that matter.
