Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

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

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
