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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.
