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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.
