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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

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

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.
