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

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.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
