Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

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

Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.

Sweet is the memory of distant friends! Like the mellow rays of the departing sun, it falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

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