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

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

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

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

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

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

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