Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

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

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

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
