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

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

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

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

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

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
