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

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

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

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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

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.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
