True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, 'What! You too? I thought I was the only one.'
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.
A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
