“Friendships are discovered rather than made.”

“If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends”

“If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own”

“I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred - that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt”

“Opposition is true friendship”

“He who loves his enemies betrays his friends; this surely is not what Jesus meant.”
