Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.
