A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.
