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

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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