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

Instead of loving your enemies - treat your friends a little better.

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
