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

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

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.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

True friendship is like sound health the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
