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

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.
