Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.
There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.
Friendship! Mysterious cement of the soul, Sweet'ner of life, and solder of society.
If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend.
Friendship has its illusions no less than love.
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
