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

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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