Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.
