A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
