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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.
