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

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

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