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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
