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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
