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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
