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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
