The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

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

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