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

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.
