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

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

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

Love is flower like Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
