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

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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