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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

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

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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