There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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

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

A man should never neglect his family for business.

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

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

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

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

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

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

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

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.

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

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

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.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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