I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.
