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.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.
