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

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

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

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.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
