Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

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