A good friend will always stab you in the front.

Friendship is nothing else than an accord in all things, human and divine, conjoined with mutual goodwill and affection.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

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.
