My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
