Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

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