Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
