I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Friends... they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams.

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

Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
