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

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
