As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
