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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

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

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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

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