Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives, and remembering
what one receives.

In a friend you find a second self.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and
without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become
tedious.

I chose a friend because I needed a friend, if I had wanted
a knife I would have bought one.

The man who treasures his friends is usually solid gold
himself.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and
beautiful things of life.

Dreams are wishes cast upon stars, so catch a shining one,
take your friend's hand and hold on forever

Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which
there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more
personal liking.

A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath
found such an one hath found a treasure.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a
slow-ripening fruit.
