Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
