Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.
