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

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

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.

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

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.

The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.

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

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

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

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.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

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

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.

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

There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

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