Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
