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.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
