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

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

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

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

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
