Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

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

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