True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
