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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
