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.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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