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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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