I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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.

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

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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
