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

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

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

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

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

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

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

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