Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

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

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

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

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

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