“When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.”
“Choose your friends and mates, not by the money in their bank account, creed, ethnicity, or color; instead, choose character, actions, heart, and soul. When we bleed, we bleed the same color.”
“You don't choose your friends, they choose you, and you either reject them or you accept them without reservations.”
“You can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't.”
“Fate chooses your relations, you choose your friends.”
“Choose your friends carefully but don’t worry about your enemies, they will choose you”
