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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

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.

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

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

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.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.
