The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

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