Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow-ripening fruit.
Be slow to fall into friendship, but when you are in, continue firm and constant.
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Friends are nothing but a known enemy
Between friends there is no need of justice.
We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.
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.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
The relationship between husband and wife should be one of closest friends.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity
As in the case of wines that improve with age, the oldest friendships ought to be the most delightful.

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