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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

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

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.

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