Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

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