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

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.

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