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.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.
