Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.
If out of all mankind one finds a single friend, he has found something more precious than any treasure, since there is nothing in the world so valuable that it can be compared to a real friend.

He who hath many friends hath none.
A friend to all is a friend to none.
