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

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

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

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

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.
