Just because you lost me as a friend doesn't mean you gained me as an enemy. I'm bigger than that. I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table.

Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it.

A friend to me has no race, no class and belongs to no minority. My friendships were formed out of affection, mutual respect and a feeling of having something strong in common. These are eternal values that cannot be racially classified. This is the way I look at race.

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
