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

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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

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.
