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

Let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

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

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.

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