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

WILLIAM PENN

---

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

NORMAN MACDONALD

---

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

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT

---

[It] is the juvenal period of life when friendships are formed, and habits established, that will stick by one.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

---

While friendship itself has an air of eternity about it, seeming to transcend all natural limits, there is hardly any emotion so utterly at the mercy of time. We form friendships, and grow out of them. It might almost be said that we cannot retain the faculty of friendship unless we are continually making new friends.

ROBERT HUGH BENSON

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

Friendship can be really tested only in bad times.

DONALD TRUMP

---

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

---

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

---

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

---

The soil of friendship is worn out with constant use.

WILLIAM HAZLITT

---

Friendship should be more than biting Time can sever.

T. S. ELIOT

---

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

---

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.

DAVID SEDARIS

---

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
