Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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