There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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

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