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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
