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

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
