The best time to make friends is before you need them.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
