I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
