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

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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