“It is difficult to be sure of our friends, but it is possible to be certain of our loyalty to them.”

“the companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain.”

“For there is a certain luxury in grief; especially when we pour out our sorrows in the bosom of a friend, who will approve, or, at least, pardon our tears.”
Est enim quaedam etiam dolendi voluptas, praesertim si in amici sinu defleas, apud quem lacrimis tuis vel laus sit parata vel venia.

“We have absolutely abandoned any idea of nationalist loyalty. We are deliberately putting a world order before our loyalty to our own country.”

“This body of ours, which we cherish so dearly, will turn into a corpse that our friends and family will only want to dispose of as quickly as possible.”

“Our obligations and loyalty should not be to a government that will not take care of our needs. Our obligations and loyalty should not be to a government that has proven time and time again that it is the enemy of the people unless the people are rich in dollars.”

“It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.”

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

“Never mind our kind friends: if they can part our bodies, it is enough; in God's name, let them not sunder our souls!”

“The finest proof of our loyalty toward one another was our monstrous disloyalties towards everyone else.”
