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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

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

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