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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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.

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
