“Ah yet, ere I descend to th’ grave, May I a small house, and a large garden have! And a few friends, and many books, both true, Both wise, and both delightful too!” - Quotes by Confucius
“Have no friends not equal to yourself. There are three friendships that are advantageous, and three that are injurious. Friendship with the upright; friendship with the sincere; and friendship with the man of much observation; these are advantages. Friendship with the man of specious airs; friendship with the insinuatingly soft; and friendship with the glib-tongued; these are injurious”. - Quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
“Friendship often ends in love, but love, in friendship – never. If you want enemies, excel others; if you want friends, let others excel you”. - Quotes by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
“Friendship can exist only where men harmonize in their views og things human and divine. A friend is, as it were, a second self”.
“[Of Dr Johnson and his dictionary] He for subscribers baits his book, And takes your cash; but where’s the book? No matter where; wise fear, you know, Forbids the robbing of a foe; But what, to serve our private ends, Forbids the cheating of our friends?”
“A woman can become a man’s friend only in the following stages – first an acquaintance,, next a mistress, and only then a friend”.
