The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
