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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

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

Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

Be slow to fall into friendship but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
