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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
