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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

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