Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
