Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

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

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

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

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

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

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
