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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
