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

I get by with a little help from my friends.

No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

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.

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

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

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

A friend to all is a friend to none.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

Everyone wants to ride with you in the limo but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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.

Rashness is the faithful, but unhappy parent of misfortune.

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

Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
