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

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
