Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

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

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

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.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

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