A friend is, as it were, a second self.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

The best kind of friend is the kind you sit with, never say a word and walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had.

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.

Friendship is love without his wings!

Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.

A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
