There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.
