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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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

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

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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