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

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

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
