One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
