You cannot be friends upon any other terms than upon the terms of equality.

You can't eat your friends and have them too.

You do not know how much they mean to me, my friends, and how, how rare and strange it is, to find in a life composed so much of odds and ends... To find a friend who has these qualities, who has, and gives those qualities upon which friendship lives. How much it means that I say this to you-- without these friendships-- life, what cauchemar!

You don't have to dislike people you disagree with and it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to have bipartisan friendships in this place. Life's too short to have it any other way.

"A brother is not always a friend, but a friend is always a brother."

You don't just luck into things as much as you would like to think you do. You build step by step, whether it is friendships or opportunities.

You don't make peace with friends. You make it with very unsavory enemies

You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.

You find out who your real friends are when you're involved in a scandal.

You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend when I was down you just stood there grinning.

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.

You have been my friends, replied charlotte, that in itself is a tremendous thing...

You never know who's going to become your friend. Friends are always chance meetings.

"A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails."

You send a boy to school in order to make friends of the right sort

You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.

You should never second-guess the motives of your true friends. You don't even have to analyze their actions because you know, at bottom, that whatever they do or say or think flows in some fundamental way from the fact that they love you.

You that would judge me do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon; ireland’s history in their lineaments trace; think where man’s glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.

You will make more friends in a week by getting yourself interested in other people than you can in a year by trying to get people interested in you.

You win the victory when you yield to friends.

You with a bad coin in your socket, you my friend there with a winning air who palmed the lie on me when you looked brassily at my shyest secret ..
