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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

A quarrel between friends, when made up, adds a new tie to friendship.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
