Part of adulthood is searching for the people who understand you.
Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow; apart, they grow cold.
It is meant that noble minds keep ever with their likes; for who so firm that cannot be seduced.
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life.
Society is a partnership not only by those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.
Friendship is the greatest of worldly goods. Certainly to me it is the chief happiness of life. If I had to give a piece of advice to a young man about a place to live, I think I should say, 'sacrifice almost everything to live where you can be near your friends.'
People are really happier with friends than they are with their families or their spouse or their child.
You will find that hate can unify people more quickly and more fervently than devotion ever could.

Prosperity knits a man to the world.
The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.
You have pretty much the same fan base in Memphis, year over year the same group. We watched teenagers in the stands become parents. You'd see little kids become young men and women. Those relationships mean much more than just basketball.
Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.
You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.
I have no friends, I only have accomplices now. On the other hand, my accomplices are more numerous than my friends: they are the human race.
When I look at relationships, my own and others, I see a wide range of reasons for people to be together and ways in which they are together. I see ways in which a relationship - which means something that exists between two or more people - for the most part reinforces people's separateness as individual entities.
