If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
