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

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
