Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.
