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

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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