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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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