A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

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