One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

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

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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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