There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
