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

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.
