There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

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

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

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

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

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
