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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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