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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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