It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.

The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend.

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

The greatest gift of life is friendship, and I have received it.

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

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

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

As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights.

That friendship will not continue to the end which is begun for an end.
