That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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

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

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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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