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

If you have a candle, the light won't glow any dimmer if I light yours off of mine.

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

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

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friends are nothing but a known enemy

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.

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

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever.

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

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

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

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.

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

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

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

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.
