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

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
