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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
