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.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
