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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
