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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
