Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Friends must always be treated as if one day they might be enemies.

Sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get you where you want to go... soon your gonna find stealing other people toys on the playground won't make you many friends.

Friends make pretence of following to the grave but before one is in it, their minds are turned and making the best of their way back to life and living people and things they understand.

Simon Cowell and I are great friends and we wind each other up. Rod Stewart and I do the same thing.

If friends disappoint you over and over, that's in large part your own fault. Once someone has shown a tendency to be self-centered, you need to recognize that and take care of yourself; people aren't going to change simply because you want them to.
