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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

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

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
