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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
