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

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

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

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
