Of course, this doesn't always work. To quote the French philosopher Paul Valery: “Don't judge a man by his friends. With Judas, they were impeccable.” But, I want to believe that this is still an exception to the rule.

Friendship is such a great feeling that great people often talked about it. Poets, writers and philosophers have often addressed this topic. Therefore, there are so many wise quotes and aphorisms about friendship.
