Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

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

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

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

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