The friendships of the world are oft confederacies in vice, or leagues of pleasure.

JOSEPH ADDISON

---

Choose a friend as thou dost a wife, 'till Death separate you.

WILLIAM PENN

---

Friendship is a serious affection; the most sublime of all affections, because it is founded on principle, and cemented by time.

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT

---

Friendship can exist between persons of different sexes, without any coarse or sensual feelings; yet a woman always looks upon a man as a man, and so a man will look upon a woman as a woman.

JEAN DE LA BRUYÈRE

---

Friendship is not an obsolete sentiment. It is as true now as in Aristotle's time that no one would care to live without friends, though he had all other good things. It is still necessary to our life in its largest sense.

HUGH B. BLACK

---

My friends have come to me unsought. The great God gave them to me. By oldest right, by the divine affinity of virtue with itself, I find them, or rather, not I, but the Deity in me and in them, both deride and cancel the thick walls of individual character, relation, age, sex and circumstance, at which he usually connives, and now makes many one.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

---

Whatever dissolves friendship should, at least, be equal in importance to that which formed it.

NORMAN MACDONALD

---

Friendship can be really tested only in bad times.

DONALD TRUMP

---

Friendship should be more than biting Time can sever.

T. S. ELIOT

---

Friendships are a reflection of who you are and what you need. While we are constantly evolving, there comes a time when we know what the make-and-breaks are in friendship. And once you know what your deal breakers are, naturally you will begin to seek out friendships that fit. Unfortunately, we also know that some friendships will get left behind.

SA'IYDA SHABAZZ

---

Of what use the friendliest disposition even, if there are no hours given to Friendship, if it is forever postponed to unimportant duties and relations? Friendship first, Friendship last.

HENRY DAVID THOREAU

---

It is a strange thing to behold, what gross errors and extreme absurdities many (especially of the greater sort) do commit, for want of a friend to tell them of them; to the great damage both of their fame and fortune.

FRANCIS BACON

---

We often choose a friend as we do a mistress, for no particular excellence in themselves, but merely from some circumstance that flatters our self-love.

WILLIAM HAZLITT

---

The soil of friendship is worn out with constant use.

WILLIAM HAZLITT

---

It is never easier to forget friends than when we imagine they have forgotten us--friendship, like love, requires reciprocal assurance of continuity.

NORMAN MACDONALD

---

I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

---

The end of friendship is a commerce the most strict and homely that can be joined; more strict than any of which we have experience. It is for aid and comfort through all the relations and passages of life and death. It is fit for serene days, and graceful gifts, and country rambles, but also for rough roads and hard fare, shipwreck, poverty, and persecution.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

---

Letters of friendship require no study.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

---

If you're ever in a jam, here I am
If you're ever in a mess, S-O-S
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail, I'm your bail.
It's friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.

JUDY GARLAND

---

Some friendships are formed by a commonality of interests and ideas: you both love judo or camping or making your own sausage. Other friendships are forged in alliance against a common enemy.
