friend is one who knows you and loves you
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDSHIP IMPROVES HAPPINESS
Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
intimate, courteous, friendship
A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.
