My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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

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

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

Even where friendship is concerned, it takes me a long time to trust people.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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