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

But friendship is the breathing rose, with sweets in every fold.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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

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

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

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

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

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