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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
