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

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.
