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

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.
