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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
