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

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.
