A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

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

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

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

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

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

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
