Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
