The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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