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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.

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.

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

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

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

An excellent man he has no enemies and none of his friends like him.
