You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

One best book is equal to hundred good friends but one good friend is equal to a library

A real friend or mentor isn't on your payroll.

I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

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.
