Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Real friends stab you in the front.

Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.

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

Between friends there is no need of justice.

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

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

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

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.

Children make your life important.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

Man's best support is a very dear friend.

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

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