True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
