Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

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