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

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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
