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

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

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

To like and dislike the same things, this is what makes a solid friendship.

Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
