"Every friendship that lasts is built of certain durable materials.  The first of these is truthfulness.  If I can look into the eyes of my friend and speak out always the truthful thought and feeling with the simplicity of a little child, there will be a real friendship between us."

"Sometimes you do not say anything and I know exactly what you are thinking.  Sometimes you see something beautiful and it is as if I see it too.  Sometimes you touch something and by holding your hand I feel like I touch it also.  Sometimes you learn something interesting and by listening to you I learn it also.  Always when you are happy I am happy because you are part of me and your life is intermingled with mine."

"With some people absence does make the heart fonder. ...the further away they are, the better you like them!"

"I haven't seen you in a while yet I often imagine all your expressions.  I haven't spoken to you recently but many times I hear your thoughts.  Good friends must not always be together.  It is the feeling of oneness when distant that proves a lasting friendship."

"Though we drifted apart in distance, I'll always think of you as being here.Though we have different interests, our experiences are still the same.  I haven't seen you in awhile Yet I often imagine your expressions. I haven't spoken to you recently but many times I hear your thoughts.  And though we may have many new friends, it is our old and continuous friendship that means the most to me."
