In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.

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