A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.
