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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

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