Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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

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

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

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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

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