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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
