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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
