Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
