True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
