But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

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

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

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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