One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

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

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.

Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

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

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

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

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

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.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
