Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

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

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

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