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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
