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

Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Don't walk behind me I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.

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

Think where man's glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends.

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.
