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

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

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

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

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

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

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

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

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

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

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

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

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

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

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
