FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDSHIP AT FIRST SIGHT
Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
friends, explain, believe, enemies
Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.
Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
