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

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

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

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

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

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

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.
