Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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