A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

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

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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.
