A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.
