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

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

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

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

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

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

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
