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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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