A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
