Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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