Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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.

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