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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.
