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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
