Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
