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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

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

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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