It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
