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

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
