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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
