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

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.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
