Friendship

He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.

Opposition is true friendship

When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend

Friendships are discovered rather than made.

I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred - that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own

If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends

Love and friendship exclude each other

No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less

Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings

Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.

There are a good many fools who call me a friend, and also a good many friends who call me a fool

I could never hate anyone I knew

It's the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected

The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship

Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they're worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones

Yes, we must ever be friends; and of all who offer you friendship let me be ever the first, the truest, the nearest and dearest!

Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend

How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of beginnings, story without end, each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
