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

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

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

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

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
