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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
