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

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

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

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

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

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

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.

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

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

Children make your life important.

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

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

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

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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