Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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