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

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
