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

Friends... they cherish one another's dreams. They are kind to one another's dreams

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

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

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

Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.

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

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

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
