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

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.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
