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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
