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, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

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