A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.

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

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 better part of one's life consists of his friendships

I'm gonna be your friend in high tide or in low tide.

The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
