It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
