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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.
