Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.

There is a magic in the memory of a schoolboy friendship. It softens the heart, and even affects the nervous system of those who have no heart.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

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

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

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...

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.

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

The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

Loyalty is what we seek in friendship.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

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

Friendship was given by nature to be an assistant to virtue, not a companion in vice.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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