When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.
