One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
