True friends are those rare people who come to find you in dark places and lead you back to the light.

A friend is what the heart needs all the time.

Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It’s not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Some people go to priests. Others to poetry. I to my friends.

Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you. 

There are three things that grow more precious with age; old wood to burn, old books to read, and old friends to enjoy.

The love that comes from friendship is the underlying facet of a happy life.

A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence and admires the flowers in your garden.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

A single rose can be my garden… a single friend, my world.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

One’s friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

We kill all the caterpillars, then complain there are no butterflies.

It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.
