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

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

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.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

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.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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