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

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
