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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
