Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.

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