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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
