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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
