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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.
