The best time to make friends is before you need them.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

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

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
