But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
