Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
