Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

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