Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
