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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

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