The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

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

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