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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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