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

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

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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