Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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