If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.

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

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

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

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

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

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.

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.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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.
