A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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