Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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