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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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