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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

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.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
