Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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