Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.
