He that has many friends, has no friends.
Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
But you are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If someone isn't making you stronger, they're making you weaker.
Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
He who hath many friends hath none.
We may have many acquaintances, but we can have but few friends; this made Aristotle say that he that hath many friends hath none.
Oh, my God, I literally only have, like, one friend that I'm actually completely, like, myself with.
I'd rather have friends who care than friends who agree with me.
Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can't have too many friends because then you're just not really friends.
My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.
I have a very small list of friends with whom I gel and love to spend my time with.
Eating takes a special talent. Some people are much better at it than others. In that way, it is like sex, and as with sex, it's more fun with someone who really likes it. I can't imagine having a lasting friendship with anyone who is not interested in food.
I think I'm a bit of a loner, and actually quite enjoy alone time; friends become people you want to actually spend time with rather than people who are just in your life. I think it's a nice place to be.
My friends are more than an 'accept' button on Facebook, and over the, I've learned the only way to have a best friend is to actually be one.
One of the strange things about friendship is that time together isn't cancelled out by time apart. One doesn't erase the other or balance it on some invisible scale. You can spend a few hours with someone and they will change your life, or you can spend a lifetime with a person and remain unchanged.
You can't socialise without being faceless idiots. More people have Facebook friends than actual friends these days.
My theory is that you find out who your true friends are when something good happens to you, not when something bad happens to you. Everybody loves you when something bad happens to you. Then you're easy to love.
I don't have many friends, but I have enough. I'm not one of these people who collects celebrity friends.
Self-love increases or diminishes for us the good qualities of our friends, in proportion to the satisfaction we feel with them; and we judge of their merit by the manner in which they act towards us.
True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in the worth and choice.
It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.
Any time you make more than a couple of friends at an event, I think that you actually made no friends.
Pick a good set of friends that are going to allow you to move in the right direction.
Friendship's the wine of life: but friendship new... is neither strong nor pure.
If you aren't respected by someone, how can the friendship with them be valued?
