Never shall I forget the time I spent with you. Please continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours.
~ Ludwig Van Beethoven - [Friends and Friendship]

From quiet homes and first beginning, out to the undiscovered ends, there's nothing worth the wear of winning, but laughter and the love of friends.
~ Hilaire Belloc - [Friends and Friendship]

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
~ Samuel Butler - [Friends and Friendship]

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.
~ James F. Byrnes - [Friends and Friendship]

A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.
~ Lord Byron - [Friends and Friendship]

Friendship is Love without his wings!
~ Lord Byron - [Friends and Friendship]

I have always laid it down as a maxim --and found it justified by experience --that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex --but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
~ Lord Byron - [Friends and Friendship]

I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world --not much remembered when the ball is over.
~ Lord Byron - [Friends and Friendship]

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.
~ Albert Camus - [Friends and Friendship]

Give me the avowed, the erect, the manly foe, bold I can meet, perhaps may turn his blow! But of all plagues, good Heavens, thy wrath can send, save, save, oh save me from the candid friend!
~ George Canning - [Friends and Friendship]
