Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

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

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

True friends ... face in the same direction, toward common projects, interests, goals.

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.

You are my best friend as well as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Anybody amuses me for once. A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

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

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

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
