A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

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.

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.

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

When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them.
