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

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

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
