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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
