I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

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.

Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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.

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

Loyalty is what we seek in friendship.

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.
