A friend in power is a friend lost.

Friends are born, not made.

A new friend is always a miracle, but at thirty-three years old, such a bird of paradise rising in the sage-brush was an avatar. One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.

Every one must bear his own universe, and most persons are moderately interested in learning how their neighbors have managed to carry theirs.

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible.

Every man should have a fair-sized cemetary in which to bury the faults of his friends.
