“Marriage: A friendship recognized by the police.”

“Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.”

“Friendships, like marriages, are dependent on avoiding the unforgivable.”

“A man’s friendships are, like his will, invalidated by marriage—but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.”

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”

“A successful marriage puts an end to feminine friendships; but if marriage is a failure, the young woman must have others to confide in.”

“Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.”

“If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.”

“Division and subtraction are not required in a friendship or marriage. Only addition and multiplication of great things.”

“Good friendships are the foundation of all relationships. Whether it is in business or marriage. A good friend is the best partner.”
