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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
