Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod my shadow does that much better.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.

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

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.
