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.

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

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

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

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.

Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
