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

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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