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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

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

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