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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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

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

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.
