My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
