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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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