A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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