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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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