Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.

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

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

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
