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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
