Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

Accountability in friendship is the equivalent of love without strategy.

Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.

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

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

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.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
