Life has no blessing like a prudent friend.

Love demands infinitely less than friendship.

Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

All you need to do to be my friend is like me.

Friends are born, not made.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.
