I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

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

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

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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.
