Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

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

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
