| Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does. | | Jane Austen | |
| But friendship is precious, not only in shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine | | Thomas Jefferson | |

| But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is going good. | | Oscar Wilde | |
Christopher Robin had a question to ask first, and he was wondering how to ask it.
"Well," he said at last, "it's a very nice house, and if your own house is blown down, you must go somewhere else, musn't you, Piglet? What would you do, if your house was blown down?"
Before Piglet could think, Pooh answered for him.
"He'd come and live with me," said Pooh, "wouldn't you?"
Piglet squeezed his paw. "Thank you, Pooh," he said, "I should love to." | | A. A. Milne | |
| Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men. | | George Santayana | |
| Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. | | Oliver Wendell Holmes | |
| Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. | | Albert Camus | |
| Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. | | Anais Nin | |
Everybody need a partner to stand right by their side
Not only down for the good times
But also down through the bad times | | Will Smith | |
| Forsake not an old friend, for the new is not comparable to him. A new friend is a new wine; when if is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure. | | Bible | |
| Friends are an aid to the young, to guard them from error; to the elderly, to attend to their wants and to supplement their failing power of action; to those in the prime of life, to assist them to noble deeds. | | Aristotle | |
| Friends are helpful not only because they will listen to us, but because they will laugh at us; Through them we learn a little objectivity, a little modesty, a little courtesy; We learn the rules of life and become better players of the game | | Will Durant | |
| Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is. | | George Santayana | |
| Friends show their love - in times of trouble, not in happiness | | Euripides | |
| Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth | | Herman Melville | |
