Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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

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

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

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