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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
