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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.
