Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
