Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
