One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success!

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
