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

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

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