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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship
