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.

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

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