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

I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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

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

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

Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and happiness of one another.

Mighty proud I am that I am able to have a spare bed for my friends.

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