“Friends always forget those whom fortune forsakes.”
“The wise man seeks first and foremost to use his good fortune to increase the number of those with whom he collaborates.”
“You meet people who forget you. You forget people you meet. But sometimes you meet those people you can't forget. Those are your 'friends”
“Men whose spirit has grown arrogant from the great favor of fortune have this most serious fault—those whom they have injured they also hate.”
“We always like those who admire us; we do not always like those whom we admire”
“The history that one can create with a friend, a lifetime of history and shared experience, is a wonderful thing and shabbily sacrificed. And yet a true friend is a rare thing; sometimes those whom we perceive as friends are simply people with whom we spend a lot of time.”
