“Love and friendship exclude each other”

“There are a good many fools who call me a friend, and also a good many friends who call me a fool”

“Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.”

“Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings”

“No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less”

“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”
