Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

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

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