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

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

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

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
