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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

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