Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

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

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

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

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.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.

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

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

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

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

Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.

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.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back

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

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends.
