A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

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

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
