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

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
