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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

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

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

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