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

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.
