It is more shameful to distrust our friends than to be deceived by them.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success, I'd probably choose success.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
