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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
