Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

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

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

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
