"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." ― Thomas Jefferson Topic(s): Friendship Tags: commerce, friendship, honest, peace More From Thomas Jefferson "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion." "No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will." "My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair." More In Friendship "Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference."― Emil Ludwig "It must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship. Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them."― Gilbert Parker "Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious."― Jonathan Edwards
