One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
