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.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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