There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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