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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.
