Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

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