The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

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