Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
