The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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 with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

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

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.
