Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. 

Thomas Jefferson

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another? 

Thomas Jefferson

An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.

Thomas Jefferson

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine.

Thomas Jefferson

I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man’s milk and restorative cordial.

Thomas Jefferson, (1743 – 1826) Was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of theDeclaration of Independence.
