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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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.

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

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.
