A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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