Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.
Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
