“One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.”

“Let no one think of me that I am humble or weak or passive; let them understand I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies, loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs.”

“Who then will dare to say I'm weak or timid? No, they'll say I'm loyal as a friend, ruthless as a foe, so much like a hero destined for glory.”

“ten soldiers wisely led will beat a hundred with out a head”

“I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend's prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief”

“Prosperity is full of friends.”

“Friends show their love in times of trouble.”
