Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

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

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

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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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