One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!
