Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

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