“What are friends for? They are the ultimate reflection of yourself. Always surround yourself with people who inspire you and return the favor by giving them the best of you.”

“If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.(Isaac Jaffe, Sports Night)”

“Happy Families. What's that all about, eh? A bloody busted flush is what it is. You surround yourself with other people so the night doesn't seem quite so dark. Shout down the sound of the wind with arguments about whose turn it is to wash the dishes. Best not to kid yourself. Best not to give any hostages to fortune. You're on your own in the end. Always. Where else would you want to be?”

“.. a friend is someone who inspires, who challenges, who sends you in search of some truer sense of yourself..”

“Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.”

“It's usually the selfish people who are loved the most. They do what you deny yourself, and you love them for it. You give them your heart.”
