The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.

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

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.

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

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

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

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