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

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

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

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

Women can form a friendship with a man very well; but to preserve it, a slight physical antipathy most probably helps.

Real friends stab you in the front.

Friendship is love without his wings!

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

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

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.

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

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

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.

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft...
