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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
