No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and the sharing of pleasures.

Friends are the siblings God never gave us.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendships between women, as any woman will tell you, are built of a thousand small kindness... swapped back and forth and over again.

Sometimes our lights goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

If you want a friend, buy a dog.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

Wishing to be a friends is a quick work, but friendship is a slow -ripening fruit.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
