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

There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.

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

Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
