Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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.

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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