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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

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

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
