No man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend till he is unhappy.

It makes no sense to try to extend a friendship that was only meant to be a season into a lifetime. ― Mandy Hale

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

The torpid artist seeks inspiration at any cost, by virtue or by vice, by friend or by fiend, by prayer or by wine. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy is the house that shelters a friend. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Marriage: a friendship recognized by the police. — Robert Louis Stevenson

---

I'm so happy because today I found my friends - they're in my head.

Nothing is more dangerous than a friend without discretion; even a prudent enemy is preferable.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Almost every man we meet requires some civility; requires to be humored; - he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
