He's my friend that speaks well of me behind my back.
Thomas Fuller

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Robert Brault

An incinerator is a writer's best friend.
Thornton Wilder

I wrote the song For A Dancer for a friend of mine who died in a fire. He was in the sauna in a house that burned down, so he had no idea anything was going on. It was very sad.
Jackson Browne

I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.
Jackson Browne

No one has really ever defined what a friend is.
Joseph Epstein

Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy.
Gilbert Parker

He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.
Sophocles

To have a great man for a friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.
Horace

One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.
Sophocles

Whoever understands how to do a kindness when he fares well would be a friend better than any possession.
Sophocles

Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.
Sophocles

I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.
Leonardo DiCaprio

As a real person, he wouldn't last a minute, would he? But drama is about imperfection. And we've moved away from the aspirational hero. We got tired of it, it was dull. If I was House's friend, I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don't always like morally good people, do we?
Hugh Laurie

A friend in power is a friend lost.
Henry B. Adams

Where minds differ and opinions swerve there is scant a friend in that company.
Elizabeth I

For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather; To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.
Christina Rossetti

Sleep my friend, and you will see that dream is my reality.
James Hetfield

It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies.
River Phoenix
