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

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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

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

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

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

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
