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

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.
