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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

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.
