In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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