Agreement in likes and dislikes--this, and this only, is what constitutes true friendship.

Is demum miser est, cuius nobilitas miserias nobilitat.
(Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.)

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

There is no gift like friendship. Remember this - when you become a young man. For your fate will turn on the first true friend you make.

I dreamt we walked together along the shore. We made satisfying small talk and laughed. This morning I found sand in my shoe and a seashell in my pocket. Was I only dreaming?

Ein Freund ist ein Mensch, der die Melodie deines Herzen kennt und sie dir vorspielt, wenn du sie vergessen hast.
