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.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

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