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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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