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

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

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

There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.

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