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

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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