Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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.

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

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

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