Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.

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

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

Some people go to priests others to poetry I to my friends.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Friendship is something that creates equality and mutuality, not a reward for finding equality or a way of intensifying existing mutuality.
