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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
