“Mutual confidence is the pillar of friendship.”
“Sensual pleasure passes and vanishes, but the friendship between us, the mutual confidence, the delight of the heart, the enchantment of the soul, these things do not perish and can never be destroyed.”
“Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.”
“There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.”
“There is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature.”
“The firmest friendships have been formed in mutual adversity, as iron is most strongly united by the fiercest flame”
