~ 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. ~
~ Animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~
~ Don't ask of your friends what you yourself can do.
~
~ What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
~
~ Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You, too? Thought I was the only one."
~
~ Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
~
~ Those truly linked don't need correspondence. When they meet again after many years apart, Their friendship is as true as ever.
~
~ A faithful friend is a strong defense: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure ~
~ The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?
~
~ The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
~
~ The only way to have a friend is to be one.
