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.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

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