Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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