You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...
Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
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.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.
The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.
Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.
Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
