Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
