Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
