That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.
