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

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

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.
