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

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

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

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

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

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