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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
