The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

It is important to our friends to believe that we are unreservedly frank with them, and important to friendship that we are not.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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

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

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