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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

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

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
