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.

My best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

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

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

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

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