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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
