A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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.
