Our friends interpret the world and ourselves to us, if we take them tenderly and truly.

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

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

A friendship that like love is warm A love like friendship, steady.

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.

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

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

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

If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

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