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

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

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

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

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

Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means.

A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.

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