Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity
One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.
Friendship is love without his wings!
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
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.
A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.
Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
Man's best support is a very dear friend.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
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.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
A friend is, as it were, a second self.
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.
Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.
