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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.
