Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

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

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

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

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

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.
