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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

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.

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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