Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

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

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

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